At a young age, she was diagnosed with viral, exercised, allergen, and irritant induced asthma.

Due to the severity of these asthmatic diagnoses, Breanna no longer attends public school. It is crucial an adult be with her at all times in the event that she becomes unresponsive due to a severe reaction.

Taking proactive measures to ensure she receives exceptional medical care during a medical emergency is exactly what Breanna’s parents did, when reaching out to MedicAlert a few years ago.

“Having a MedicAlert bracelet has given us great peace of mind. It’s like having an extra guardian angel around when mom and dad can’t be there,” says 12-year old Breanna’s mom, Jill.

With her Purple MedicAlert ID Bracelet,both she and her parents feel comfort in knowing she is watched over when an emergency situation arises.

Living Life to the Fullest

In April of 2010, Breanna was granted a life-altering gift.

Her team of doctors and specialists received approval to send her to the Nation’s Leading Respiratory Hospital.

After several weeks of diagnostic testing and treatments at National Jewish Hospital in Denver, CO, Breanna received a new course of action on how to treat her “severe asthma.”

The several diagnostic tests weighed heavily on her at times, but mom states, “She was a trooper the entire time!” The specialists gave them several suggestions on how to avoid Breanna’s asthmatic triggers.

“Since our stay at National Jewish Hospital, she has become a new kid,” says Jill. “Back at home we rely on her super star doctors that have put her back together and back on track!”

With her Kaiser team of Pediatric Specialists, along with MedicAlert Foundation, mom and dad feel profoundly blessed to have an ideal support team both to prevent and aid in any emergency situations.

After finding a wonderful team of doctors, they have since created a combination of medications which has controlled her hypertension and allowS her to be off blood pressure medications completely!
